The NFL playoffs are the most wonderful time of the year for sports gamblers.
But there’s more to betting the postseason than just moneyline and against-the-spread picks. It’s also the time to cash in on player props since so many of the NFL’s best players will be showcasing their stuff for the world to see.
Today we’ll examine Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow, who will look to continue his breakout season against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday.
Please note that all NFL gameday odds and lines are current as of 12 PM EST on Friday, January 14.

Renfrow’s role has diminished over the past month, as he’s topped five targets just once in his past four games.
Renfrow’s volume has suffered as a result, yielding just one game with more than 40 receiving yards during that stretch. As for this prop, Renfrow had eight games this season with fewer than 56 receiving yards.
While I could see Renfrow hitting the Over in a game where Carr will likely need to throw a lot, the recent trends suggest the Under is the way to go for our NFL bet of the day.
UNDER 5.5 Receptions (-121) at BetRivers
Wager: 0.5 Units
Less attention from Carr has resulted in fewer catches for Renfrow, who’s managed just 17 receptions over his last four games combined.

Renfrow is averaging just 5.5 targets per game during that time, so there’s a decent chance he doesn’t get six targets in this game, let alone six catches.
With Waller cutting into Renfrow’s target share, the Under looks like the play here.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+180) @ BetRivers
Wager: 0.5 Units
In spite of his declining volume, Renfrow has become a touchdown machine lately.
- Read our Raiders vs Bengals prediction.
After catching just four touchdowns over his first 12 games of the season, Renfrow snagged five TDs over his last five games, including two during the regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Look for that trend to continue in a likely shootout between Carr and Joe Burrow, which could follow a similar game script to last week’s slugfest between Carr and Justin Herbert. If it does, Renfrow will likely find the end zone at least once.
